If you replied to a phishing message:

1. Immediately change your password and your challenge questions: https://password.tulane.edu
2. Monitor your Sent and Draft folders for any unusual activities.  Report any unusual behavior to the Help Desk via phone or online.
3. Check your email account for rules that send your email to trash or forward your email to an address that you are not familiar with. If you find one of these rules, delete the rule.
4. Complete the Anti-Phishing training http://phishbait.tulane.edu/training/

If you can no longer log into your account, your account may already be compromised and therefore blocked by the system administrators from causing further harm to you or to Tulane.  If this is the case, please contact the Technical Support and Network Operations Center (TSNOC) at 504.862.8888 so that they may verify that your account is blocked.  If your account is blocked, the TSNOC will escalate your request to level 2 support at Tulane for further action.

When the spammers have your password, they create a rule in your mailbox to forward a copy of your email to them, hence if you use tulane.edu email for banking or other online verification, act immediately to protect yourself by alerting your financial institution, placing fraud alerts on your credit files with the 3 major credit reporting bureaus and monitoring your account statements closely.

Tulane accounts are used to access many applications containing sensitive information.  If there are any doubts on the legitimacy of an email, delete the email, and contact the TSNOC at 8888 on the Uptown Campus, 8-8888 on the Health Sciences Center campus or off-campus at 1-866-276-1428.

***Remember that the University will NEVER ask for your password in an e-mail. If you receive an e-mail that claims to be from the University and asks for your username and password, forward it (with all headers and the entire message) to security@tulane.edu. Fraudulent e-mail claiming to come from outside agencies (for example, PayPal) should be directed reported to the company being phished.

Email accounts for Departments and Resources

• A shared email account associated with a department or organization.
• Anyone with the password has complete control over the account like their own individual email account.
• Replies are sent as the resource account, not the individual who writes them.
• Can be added to Outlook.
• Responsibility for this account can be passed on as staff or organization leadership changes.

Departmental Email accounts can be requested through the Service Catalog - https://tulane.service-now.com/

List servs are electronic mailing lists where groups of users share email messages. They are managed by a list owner who has formal responsibility for the operation of the list and enforces policies which the user establishes.

List servs can be requested through the Service Catalog - https://tulane.service-now.com/

Please note: If you are a student and the list is for a student organization, you need to get an approval from Student Programs by sending an e-mail to tel@tulane.edu. If you are a student and the list is for your department or professor, a reference letter from your department or professor is required to be sent to lists@tulane.edu.
